Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the
microwave oven. This interference is similar to that caused by small
appliances such as mixers, vacuums, electric fans, etc. It does not indicate a
problem with your oven.
During cooking, steam is given off from the food, and most of the steam is
exhausted from the vents. However, it accumulates at cold places, such as the
oven door. This is normal.
When functioning related to the steam, a great amount of steam will be
generated in the oven cavity during operation, and some of the steam leaks
from the door gaps. This is normal and does not cause microwave leakage.
The oven works without load, which does not cause damage to the microwave
oven. However, you must avoid such condition.
The microwave oven must be washed regularly, in particular at the completion
of these functions. Any grease accumulating on the top of the oven cavity and
on the oven wall will cause white smoke.
If the broiler works for a long time, the oven cavity will be very hot. To protect
the broiler, the program controls the broiler to enter intermittent work state,
which is normal.
The microwave oven cools down the oven cavity and electronic components,
which is normal.
Since there are classifications between the heaters, it is normal when it gives
off distinct brightness.
